Have you formed any opinions as to Golden Promise?

Not yet Matt, but i've only tasted it in the Fools Gold. I might be doing a recipe with the only grains being Golden Promise at the weekend if i get a chance so that should help me form so kind of opinion.

John i'd imagine it's gonna tear lumps out of me, not exactly a summer ale
